Do I Need An Oral Cancer Screening?

Everyone should receive regular oral cancer screenings as part of their routine dental care, regardless of risk factors. However, individuals who use tobacco products, consume alcohol regularly, have a family history of cancer, or have been exposed to HPV should be especially vigilant about scheduling these important examinations. Dr. Sourvanos recommends annual screenings for most patients, though those with higher risk factors may benefit from more frequent evaluations.
